Speaker 1: Now back to murphin markets on the Sports Leader, streaming
Speaker 1: live on the sports Leader dot com at knb r
Speaker 1: V sports Leader app.
Speaker 2: You know, first and foremost is a tremendous honor. But
Speaker 2: you know, getting getting to go on with with Panic, Crawl,
Speaker 2: Fell and Pablo, I think makes it even more special
Speaker 2: for me. I mean, just a ton of great memories
Speaker 2: with those guys on the field and off the field,
Speaker 2: winning a lot of games, championship to do it with
Speaker 2: those guys makes it all the more special. But yeah,
Speaker 2: tremendous honor, some great, great giants that are on that wall,
Speaker 2: and uh super super humble to go up there myself.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that this weekend.
Speaker 3: Buster Posey, you're president of Baseball Operations. Earlier this morning
Speaker 3: right here on the Murph and Marcus Show with my
Speaker 3: man John Dickinson filling in for Murf today and tomorrow,
Speaker 3: and that was Buster Posey talking about the Wall of
Speaker 3: Fame ceremony going on this weekend this Saturday against the
Speaker 3: Detroit Tigers. Game starts at excuse me, ceremony starts at
Speaker 3: three pm on Saturday. We will have live coverage here
Speaker 3: on the sports Leader starting at two five should be
Speaker 3: a fun weekend down at the ballpark with Brandon Belt,
Speaker 3: Brandan Crawford, Joe Panic, Pablo Ceneval, and Buster Posey all
Speaker 3: going on the Hall of Fame together. That's one hell
Speaker 3: of a draft class, one hell of a Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame class to go on the wall together with jad.
Speaker 4: Well, and it makes sense to have all of them
Speaker 4: go together when you look at the homegrown infield and
Speaker 4: obviously Panic around for the final championship in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 4: and you have Crawford and Belt who were a part
Speaker 4: of the two championships in twelve and fourteen, and Buster
Speaker 4: obviously the headliner and part of the leader of all
Speaker 4: three of those teams that won in twenty ten, twelve,
Speaker 4: and fourteen. But at the end of it all, it
Speaker 4: was the homegrown infield and adding Pablo Sandoval to that
Speaker 4: mix as well, who was one of the guys who
Speaker 4: was there for all three in different roles in all three,
Speaker 4: but apart obviously of all three. So it makes a
Speaker 4: hell of a lot of sense to have those guys
Speaker 4: all go in together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it truly is a cool story and it kind
Speaker 3: of makes you disconnect from the struggles of this season
Speaker 3: a little bit and reconnect with the teams that I
Speaker 3: know a lot of Giants fans fell in love with,
Speaker 3: and a reason why fans are so passionate and a
Speaker 3: reason why this fan base was referred to as the
Speaker 3: lunatic fringe for so long. And we just had Tim
Speaker 3: Flannery on our show the other day. He's going to
Speaker 3: be down here this week and with Jake Peevey, I
Speaker 3: know Bochi's gonna be in town and a bunch of
Speaker 3: other Giants, So it should be a party down at
Speaker 3: the ballpark starting this Saturday.
Speaker 5: JD.
Speaker 4: Yeah, be a lot of fun amid even a disappointing
Speaker 4: season for the Giants on the field here in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty six. It's funny to think back to and I
Speaker 4: do this often when you reflect about the championship teams,
Speaker 4: but it's just the different the things that were the
Speaker 4: same about each of the three, but the things that
Speaker 4: were different. And Pablo made me think about it because
Speaker 4: he goes from somebody that was a bench player that
Speaker 4: had fallen out of favor essentially in twenty ten, to
Speaker 4: somebody who's hitting three home runs in a World Series
Speaker 4: game of Justin Company, and two of them off with
Speaker 4: Justin Verlander and then the guy that catches basically the
Speaker 4: last out of the dynasty or did catch the last
Speaker 4: out of the dynasty that you know, we didn't know
Speaker 4: it was going to end them, but in hindsight, obviously
Speaker 4: we do know it that it essentially ended on that
Speaker 4: night when when the Giants won in Kansas City. But
Speaker 4: it's also the fact that you know, Lensicam in ten
Speaker 4: was the ace, and Cain in twelve was the ace,
Speaker 4: and in fourteen it was Bumgarner. So all three of
Speaker 4: them in different years were the headliner as others potentially
Speaker 4: you knowed or the pecking order changed through all three
Speaker 4: of the runs, and different closers in all three of
Speaker 4: the runs. And so those are kind of where my
Speaker 4: mind goes on some of these some of these days
Speaker 4: where the ceremony of the past starts to creep in
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you think about some of that magic of
Speaker 3: Giants baseball, or as my good friend Paula Maxws say
Speaker 3: all the time, the particles surrounding those teams, and it's
Speaker 3: just something about those guys, those guys going on the
Speaker 3: Wall of Fame and even the pitchers you mentioned, And
Speaker 3: then we get to the bullpen and the core four
Speaker 3: four And you think about the last decade of Giants baseball,
Speaker 3: where there hasn't been a lot of success outside of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one when they won one hundred and seven games,
Speaker 3: and guess who was leading the charge, Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford,
Speaker 3: Brandon Bell, damn near all having career years. It was
Speaker 3: still those guys from that dynasty bringing you the most
Speaker 3: success that we've seen over.
Speaker 5: The last five years, no doubt.
Speaker 4: And I you know, kind of finishing that that point,
Speaker 4: like the three different clutch second basemen basically that we're
Speaker 4: you know, the three the three different leadoff hitters and
Speaker 4: center fielders in all three of those from Andros Torres
Speaker 4: to Angel Pagan to greg Or Blanco being such a
Speaker 4: huge part of the team as well. So yeah, it's
Speaker 4: fun to reflect, but you're right, you reflect, you appreciate,
Speaker 4: But then it also shows the standard that has been missed,
Speaker 4: not only in terms of championships, but just in terms
Speaker 4: of meaningful contention over.
Speaker 3: The course of the last And I think that's why
Speaker 3: there was so much excitement when Buster Posey decided to
Speaker 3: take on this role as President of Baseball Operations because
Speaker 3: I remember the conversations we were having, We're like, why
Speaker 3: would Buster want this? Why would he want even to
Speaker 3: take on a job where he could end up with
Speaker 3: egg on his face and potentially stain his legacy. Now,
Speaker 3: I think there's two completely different things when you talk
Speaker 3: about the legacy of bus or Posey. There's the player
Speaker 3: that's going on the Wall of Fame this weekend and
Speaker 3: will most likely be going into the actual Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame next summer. Then you can look at what he's
Speaker 3: done so far as the president of Baseball Operations. But
Speaker 3: Busser told us when he took that job that he
Speaker 3: came back because he wanted to win, because he wanted
Speaker 3: San Francisco to get back to that standard. Now, obviously
Speaker 3: this team has not lived back up to that standard yet,
Speaker 3: But I'm wondering how much of that fan base has
Speaker 3: kind of wavered on that optimism after these last two seasons.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard not to based on the results,
Speaker 3: but I still think, big picture playing this is year
Speaker 3: two of bus or Posey. I don't think you can
Speaker 3: pull the plug and move forward to a different plan,
Speaker 3: because this is the guy you want leading the charge.
Speaker 3: From his experience as a player, we just haven't seen
Speaker 3: it translate as much as President of Baseball Operation.
Speaker 5: No, we haven't.
Speaker 4: But again, you can see what the plan is, even
Speaker 4: if you could debate whether they should have just blatantly
Speaker 4: stated that this is what the plan's going to be.
Speaker 5: And look, I get it. They were trying. What were
Speaker 5: the goals a couple of years ago?
Speaker 4: It was try to come up with the you know,
Speaker 4: some veteran players that are known in baseball to get
Speaker 4: the fan base more excited than maybe what was deemed
Speaker 4: to be. And I don't like using this term, but
Speaker 4: more of the no name type guys that varhan Ziety
Speaker 4: was was adept at being able.
Speaker 3: To find, like the constant platoon players and bullpen arms.
Speaker 3: And I get it. I was frustrated somebody covering the
Speaker 3: team showing up and not knowing who was pitching that day,
Speaker 3: didn't know if John Brebia was going to be the
Speaker 3: for the third time in a row. Yeah, like that
Speaker 3: led to some of the frustration for the fan base.
Speaker 4: Essentially, and I know this is not apples to apples,
Speaker 4: but essentially you had it became an issue of you'd
Speaker 4: rather see Willie Domas or Matt Chapman than a Donovan Solano.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's funny because I remember far Haun at
Speaker 3: one of his first pressers, he asked a question, do
Speaker 3: you want to have players you can root for? You
Speaker 3: do you want to win games? And I think a
Speaker 3: lot of the answers were, like, we want to root
Speaker 3: for these players, we also want to win games, but
Speaker 3: like there is that special connection between the fan base
Speaker 3: and the players here in San Francisco.
Speaker 4: And I think that if there was a miscalculation of
Speaker 4: the far Han hiring, I think and now we're going
Speaker 4: way back, and obviously it's you know, this is coming on,
Speaker 4: but I think it shows in the way that they
Speaker 4: corrected off of far Han is that I think there
Speaker 4: was a miscalculation that if they won, it truly wouldn't
Speaker 4: have mattered, you know, the who the players were or
Speaker 4: how they were acquired, or if they were shuffled through
Speaker 4: the minor leagues, if they you know, essentially, though, I
Speaker 4: think the Giants fan base would rather in some ways
Speaker 4: again root for Willie Adamas instead of Lamont Wade Junior.
Speaker 4: And that's no shade to Lamont in the year that
Speaker 4: he had in twenty twenty one, but it's that it's
Speaker 4: those kinds of things that I think led to the
Speaker 4: shift in well, we want to get some guys that
Speaker 4: people know, and we want to get some guys that
Speaker 4: you're gonna you know, we're going to be in the
Speaker 4: lineup every day and they're going to be playing.
Speaker 3: So more of a fanfare for a Jungle Lee versus
Speaker 3: a Darren Ruff, even though Rouff was on the move.
Speaker 3: Was an awesome moment. And look, it worked in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one with a lot of those pieces.
Speaker 4: You want a whole lot of ball games, and twenty
Speaker 4: twenty one was I think the tell because in essence,
Speaker 4: and I don't know how much of this was COVID
Speaker 4: because if you remember, like you couldn't really go to
Speaker 4: the ballpark initially at all, and then it was I
Speaker 4: think opening day, maybe nine thousand fans at twenty one,
Speaker 4: and ZIP tied together and stuff progressively opened to the
Speaker 4: point where by the end it was it was full
Speaker 4: in the playoff series against the Dodgers and all of that.
Speaker 4: But it was interesting because in twenty like everybody got
Speaker 4: caught up in twenty one at the end, but when
Speaker 4: that team was mid in twenty two, even after getting
Speaker 4: off to a decent start, immediately it was like a snooze.
Speaker 4: It was like a dial tone, like people were not
Speaker 4: into that team as mid. So if you were going
Speaker 4: to have a team that people were going to get
Speaker 4: excited about, and it was gonna be a bunch of
Speaker 4: again don't like this term, but i'll use it, no
Speaker 4: name guys, then it would have to win at an
Speaker 4: elite level to capture the attention of everybody. And again
Speaker 4: I also think it they said that they set the
Speaker 4: bar a little too higher, thought maybe they were a
Speaker 4: little too close to actually being contenders, and then it
Speaker 4: led to mid mid mid and people becoming apathetic about
Speaker 4: the lack of sort of name brand talent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's why people embrace the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one Giants so much, not just because they won
Speaker 3: one hundred and seven games, but also look at the
Speaker 3: three guys leading the charge, the guys that we started
Speaker 3: this conversation talking about, Brandon Bell, Brandon Crawford and Buster Posey.
Speaker 3: You still had those guys, Buster steps away. You stop
Speaker 3: winning ball games and all of a sudden, people don't
Speaker 3: want to show up to the ballpark.
Speaker 4: And homegrown talent, especially homegrown talent with Buster Posey as
Speaker 4: your lead executive. Hits a little different than both of
Speaker 4: these other ways that the Giants have tried to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. It's taking up those three
Speaker 3: players from twenty twenty one. It's twenty twenty six, and
Speaker 3: this weekend they are going on the Wall of Fame,
Speaker 3: which I believe is going to make an appearance on
Speaker 3: our weekend sports calendar, brought to you by Surfside. It's
Speaker 3: not a Seltzer. It's Surfside, proud partner of the San
Speaker 3: Francisco Giants, and the Giants are back after their road
Speaker 3: trip out in Texas. They are taking on the Detroit
Speaker 3: Tigers this weekend. Seven fifteen. First pitch Friday night, Saturday,
Speaker 3: the day of the Hall of Fame ceremony. First pitch
Speaker 3: is at four point fifteen. The ceremony starts at three pm,
Speaker 3: So get into your seats early and make sure you

Speaker 3: your weekend sports calendar, brought to you by Surfside. It's
Speaker 3: not a Seltzer, It's Surfside, proud partner of the San

Speaker 3: to quench my thirst. Let's hop into the Cooler of Content.
Speaker 3: Some of the best sound from the sports world, including
Speaker 3: an update from Sean McVay on Aaron Donald. Oh no,
Speaker 3: we'll discuss next on the Sports.
Speaker 1: Leader KMBRB Sports Leader.
Speaker 5: All right, everyone kill This is the cooler. He's been
Speaker 5: a cooler of.
Speaker 6: Content, capacious of joyful news all the time.
Speaker 1: Now back on murphin markets on the Sports Leader.
Speaker 3: All right, it is the Mirth and Marcus Show on
Speaker 3: a Thursday morning, Day two of the Brian Murphy vacation.
Speaker 3: JD will be in today and tomorrow filling out the week.
Speaker 3: An interesting week here at camb Are we address it
Speaker 3: to start the show earlier today if you want to
Speaker 3: go back and hear our thoughts on Greg Papa and
Speaker 3: Greg Silver. But it is time to take care of
Speaker 3: some business with the Cooler of Content sponsored by Marin
Speaker 3: Health with top physicians, surgeons and clinicians right here in
Speaker 3: the North Bay. Marine Health puts you closer to your
Speaker 3: best health world class care closer than you think and JD.
Speaker 3: Today is the first NFL preseason game of the year
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame game tonight, which means we're getting closer
Speaker 3: to not only the forty nine ers Week one preseason
Speaker 3: game next Thursday against the Tennessee Titans, but we're getting
Speaker 3: closer and closer to Week one of the NFL season
Speaker 3: where the forty nine ers will be playing Thursday night
Speaker 3: football against the La Rams down in Australia. And it
Speaker 3: sounds like the Rams might be getting a bit of reinforcement.
Speaker 3: Not sure if you saw this story yesterday, but the
Speaker 3: La Rams held a tryout, yes, I'm using air quotes,
Speaker 3: a tryout yesterday with Aaron Donald. Here was Sean McVay
Speaker 3: sitting down yesterday with Greg Rosenthal talking about the brand
Speaker 3: new prospect in town down in LA and how Aaron
Speaker 3: Donald's tryout went with the La Rams.
Speaker 4: I couldn't help, but no, like right before we started,
Speaker 4: I hope you're even aware of this, Like the NFL
Speaker 4: Transaction Wire had Aaron Donald working out with the Rams today,
Speaker 4: which I.
Speaker 3: Guess had come across as a tryout.
Speaker 5: It did come across a tryout that we've ever had.
Speaker 5: You think you could make the team? I think you
Speaker 5: can make them. Got a shot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was honestly our way of being able to
Speaker 2: get a workout with him within the you know, parameters
Speaker 2: of of what's necessary.
Speaker 3: But give Smith said, it's the greatest tryout he's ever had.
Speaker 5: Great football coach. I don't know if Sean would be
Speaker 5: the best poker player in.
Speaker 2: The world, but Aaron Donald, but yeah, you know what,
Speaker 2: I've never claimed to be a good poker player either.
Speaker 5: You've got plenty to do here. Appreciate the time having
Speaker 5: Greg and're coming on.
Speaker 3: Thirty five year old Aaron Donald, contemplating coming out of retirement,
Speaker 3: had a tryout yesterday with the la Rams JD. What
Speaker 3: do you think does he have a shot to make
Speaker 3: the roster? I would say he's got a shot to
Speaker 3: make the roster.
Speaker 4: My goodness that that is pretty funny to think that, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's the procedural move that would have to be made,
Speaker 4: and to see that pop up. I know people religiously
Speaker 4: will be checking that transaction wire at times. Even I'll
Speaker 4: do it. It's the best way to kind of see
Speaker 4: what teams are maybe doing. But Yeah, to see Aaron
Speaker 4: Donald pop up on that is pretty freaking hilarious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've bought into the rumors about Aaron Donald
Speaker 3: returning the moment that the Miles Garrett trade happened. Now,
Speaker 3: Murf and I have discussed whether or not he would
Speaker 3: play Week one down in Australia, or if he'd kind
Speaker 3: of just hang out for half the season and maybe
Speaker 3: rejoin the Rams during their bye week. But with this tryout,
Speaker 3: with him being seen on the practice field a couple
Speaker 3: weeks ago, it sounds like it's all but a done
Speaker 3: deal that Aaron Donald will come out of retirement, sign
Speaker 3: with the La Rams and possibly be on that one
Speaker 3: day flight down to Australia.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like it's happening, and we're sitting I know,
Speaker 4: you set the table for what's to come a week
Speaker 4: from tonight at Levi's with the game against the Titans
Speaker 4: in the first preseason game and then the forty nine
Speaker 4: ers having the two away games on consecutive thursdays after that,
Speaker 4: we're five weeks away. Today is the five It is
Speaker 4: five weeks from today, thirty five days from the opener
Speaker 4: in Australia, so it is getting close. And yeah, it
Speaker 4: sounds like Aaron Donald is going to be a part
Speaker 4: of another just another just another talent that the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers are going to have to overcome in that game.
Speaker 3: Now, let me ask a quick question on Aaron Donald.
Speaker 3: After taking a year off, even when he retired, he
Speaker 3: was still one of the best players in the entire league,
Speaker 3: not even outside of the defensive line. But we have
Speaker 3: gotten some pushback from forty nine Er fans to say,
Speaker 3: go back and look at the box score against the Rams.
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald traditionally does not have huge games, and I'd
Speaker 3: say you're right, You're absolutely correct. Chris Forster has put
Speaker 3: together a pretty good game plan with the double and
Speaker 3: triple teams that they were able to put on Aaron
Speaker 3: Donald and to maybe slow him down for being a
Speaker 3: game record. But can you still have that same strategy
Speaker 3: when now you have Miles Garrett on the outside, maybe
Speaker 3: the biggest monster in the league that just broke the
Speaker 3: sack record last year like JD. This feels like it's
Speaker 3: gonna have to be a different strategy and a different
Speaker 3: version of this Rams defensive line. If Donald does come
Speaker 3: back to pairrot with Miles Garrett. It does, but again,
Speaker 3: the numbers of the numbers. The forty nine Ers have
Speaker 3: historically done well against Aaron Donald, whether it's been the
Speaker 3: scheme or trying to run at him directly limit his
Speaker 3: ability to produce. It is a completely different freaking animal
Speaker 3: when you have Miles Garrett on the outside, There's no
Speaker 3: question about it, and guys that can wreck shop, you know,
Speaker 3: interior and on the outside, like the Rams are freaking loaded.
Speaker 3: We know that, we know that to be true, and
Speaker 3: so this is going to be an unbelievable task that
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan company are going to have to figure out
Speaker 3: for that game coming up thirty five days from tonight.
Speaker 3: Man Miles Garrett single handedly had more sex than the
Speaker 3: entire forty nine Ers defense last year, and now, of
Speaker 3: course that comes with an asterix without Nick Bosa back
Speaker 3: on the field. We'll get an injury update on Nick
Speaker 3: Bosa and all the forty nine Ers in just a
Speaker 3: few minutes here with at Mayoko right around eight fifty.
Speaker 3: But moving on to our next piece of cooler content,
Speaker 3: John Joe Curley was telling me about this Philly fan who, oh,
Speaker 3: by the way, is enjoying Luisa rise right now went
Speaker 3: deep last night for the Phillies. That's after he had
Speaker 3: a couple of RBI knocks in his first game in
Speaker 3: a Philly, Jersey where he is a Philly fan that
Speaker 3: apparently won an auction and got the opportunity to call
Speaker 3: an inning on the Phillies radio network. Walt laid on us.
Speaker 7: We are had to do the third inning Phillies on
Speaker 7: top two to water. We're pleased to welcome Lewis Kobb
Speaker 7: from Medford.
Speaker 5: Lakes, New Jersey. He is our Phillies fantastic auction winner.
Speaker 7: He outfid the competition to spend an inning and do
Speaker 7: some play by play in the booth, and Lewis welcome,
Speaker 7: glad to have you here. Thank you Schott. It's ay
Speaker 7: thrilled the p here. It's all flowing drain to be
Speaker 7: in the Phillies broadcast booth. So here we go. A
Speaker 7: painter of the first pitch to our tange that's in
Speaker 7: there for strike.
Speaker 3: Win.
Speaker 7: Cob fills with two in the bottom of the second
Speaker 7: to take the lead. As we start the top of
Speaker 7: the third, payter delivers it's bounced foul towards the Etillies
Speaker 7: dug out and they count one and one. Deli's winning
Speaker 7: the first two games of this series, one more to
Speaker 7: go tomorrow night, and then the three games set with
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays over the weekend. Payter delivers. It's a
Speaker 7: check swing. It's a called strike three. He got him,
Speaker 7: so our teams down.
Speaker 5: And Lewis, you spent your life as.
Speaker 7: A firefighter, police officer.
Speaker 5: Neither of those things. Just gusing.
Speaker 7: I've been a substitute teacher in recent years for Nita
Speaker 7: School and Lakerland. There's a pitch. It's line over shortstop
Speaker 7: of base hit for Dylan Cruz and he reached his
Speaker 7: first base safely.
Speaker 3: I want out thing, bro first of all, round of applause.
Speaker 3: You're telling me that was a fan with no experience, Walter,
Speaker 3: I mean that guy sounded like you could have been
Speaker 3: a cousin of John Miller.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was phenomenal. I was still listening to him
Speaker 5: back here. It was six minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what a natural. The cadence kind of
Speaker 3: has that old school baseball field is able to work
Speaker 3: in some riffs about not being a firefighter or a policeman,
Speaker 3: being a substitute teacher. Dude, I'd say, any broadcaster listening
Speaker 3: right now or listen to this call, watch your jobs.
Speaker 3: This guy might be coming after you. That guy sounded
Speaker 3: like a pro and definitely took advantage of that moment.
Speaker 6: Telling stories in between pitches too, very Vince Scully esque.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, sign this guy up, give him a job.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gotta be some type of minor league
Speaker 3: organization or independent baseball team. Get this guy a job
Speaker 3: with the Savannah Bananas JD.
Speaker 4: That was phenomenal, absolutely awesome that I was blown away instantly,
Speaker 4: and then he was able to carry it through and
Speaker 4: you know, pausing allowing the crowd mics to pick up
Speaker 4: a little bit of the new That was fantastic.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a guy that was definitely raised listening to
Speaker 3: baseball games on the radio. Awesome that he got the
Speaker 3: opportunity which I had his name to give him a
Speaker 3: shout out. But really really cool story out in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: One last piece of content before we get to Matt Mayoko.
Speaker 3: In just a few minutes from our conversation earlier with
Speaker 3: Buster Posey, we were talking about the Wall of Fame himself,
Speaker 3: Brandon Crawford, Brandon Bell, Joe Panic, and Pablo Sanoval all
Speaker 3: going on the Wall of Fame, but Buster is the
Speaker 3: boss man now. So if he had to assign each
Speaker 3: of those guys a role in the organization, what would
Speaker 3: those roles be?
Speaker 2: Buster oh Man putting me on the spot here, that's
Speaker 2: a that's a tough one. We'll have to go. I mean,
Speaker 2: Cross pretty easy to go with some sort of defensive specialist. Joe,
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, is already kind of a roving specialist.
Speaker 2: So those two guys could keep the double plays going
Speaker 2: there and working together. And then Pablo, you know what,
Speaker 2: we need switch hitters nowadays, So I'm going to have
Speaker 2: him develop as many switch hitters as we can in
Speaker 2: the organization. And then Belt it will be be sleep
Speaker 2: specialists because he was always sleepy, nice little rifter at
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 3: From Buster Posey. First of all, he's absolutely right. Joe
Speaker 3: Panick and Brandon Crawford as some of your infield coaches
Speaker 3: throughout the organization, Panic is already a roving instruction right now.
Speaker 3: I would love to see Brandon Crawford work with some
Speaker 3: of these kids with their glove. Hell, I'd like to
Speaker 3: see him work with Willie Domas as well. Maybe get
Speaker 3: Brandon Crawford to learn a little bit from Ron Washington
Speaker 3: as an infield coach. Put him in that position. Pablo Sandoval,
Speaker 3: we saw him down at spring training a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago, kind of as like a player coach, really
Speaker 3: connected with the players. Pablo's just an absolute vibe guy.
Speaker 3: And then Captain Brandon Bell himself Captain Daddy he likes
Speaker 3: to call himself. He's just there for the vibes. But
Speaker 3: as a sleep instructor, I didn't know Brandon Belt was
Speaker 3: so big on taking naps. Nice little rift there by
Speaker 3: bus or posey as I put him on the spot.
Speaker 4: Just leapy personality I think overall with Brandon Belt, but
Speaker 4: also kind of sneaky funny. In addition to all that,
Speaker 4: quick note Lewis Kolb was this was the gentleman's name
Speaker 4: that won the auction and was the guy that was
Speaker 4: doing play by play at the Phillies game.
Speaker 5: Thank you for the update.
Speaker 3: I'll put him on the Hall of Fame as well
Speaker 3: after that performance once again. Wall of Fame ceremony this
Speaker 3: weekend three pm at Oracle Park Live. Covered starts right
Speaker 3: here on the Sports Leader at two to five, but
Speaker 3: let's go ahead and check in with the Sports Leaders

Speaker 3: Where I know we are going to turn our attention
Speaker 3: full fledged to forty nine er football as the NFL
Speaker 3: preseason kickoffs tonight. We got the Hall of Fame game
Speaker 3: and plenty of forty nine or training camp updates to
Speaker 3: get into this morning with our good friend Matt may
Speaker 3: Oko on the UMA guest line, who not only covers
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers for NBC Sports Bay Area, but
Speaker 3: is also our CAMBR forty nine Ers insider. So Matt,
Speaker 3: you're a part of the family and you are aware
Speaker 3: of the news that we got in the canby our
Speaker 3: family yesterday surrounding Greg Papa and Greg Silver. First of all,
Speaker 3: I want to say I heard you yesterday with Derek
Speaker 3: Papa and Adam Copeland, and I thought you had a
Speaker 3: beautiful message to Derek regarding his father. But I wanted
Speaker 3: to open up the floor to you this morning because
Speaker 3: you are a part of the Canbyr family and you
Speaker 3: personally know Greg Silver and Greg Papa. Matt, good morning,
Speaker 3: my brother.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 6: Uh No, it felt like a like literally a gut
Speaker 6: punch that I've had a physical reaction when I heard
Speaker 6: the news. And it's always difficult when people you know,
Speaker 6: people you like, people you respect, people who do good jobs,
Speaker 6: you know, see something like that happen. And I just,
Speaker 6: you know, I know, you know both Greg's or you know,
Speaker 6: Greg Silver is at the start of his career and
Speaker 6: he's going to have a long career. He's one of
Speaker 6: those guys of whatever he does, he's going to do
Speaker 6: really well. And there's no question in my mind. And
Speaker 6: of course Greg Papa. I mean, geez, think about the
Speaker 6: legendary voices we've had in the Bay Area and the
Speaker 6: people who you know preceded Greg Papa. You know, I
Speaker 6: think of Lon Simmons and Bill King and HAYNK. Greenwald.
Speaker 6: I mean, Greg Papa's right up there, he's right up
Speaker 6: there among the absolute best. So it was absolutely crushing news.
Speaker 6: And yeah, I just I'm still kind of as I'm
Speaker 6: sure everybody there is, still kind of reeling from that news.
Speaker 3: Yeah, still really trying to wrap our heads around all
Speaker 3: of it and the information that's out there. But Matt,
Speaker 3: I appreciate those words on both Greg Silver and Greg Papa,
Speaker 3: and you're right, Greg Papa, in his own rights, is
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame broadcaster, Which leads me to a
Speaker 3: bad transition about the Hall of Fame game tonight in
Speaker 3: football being played, which means football is back. But before
Speaker 3: we get to the forty nine ers injury updates and
Speaker 3: their first preseason game a week from today, let's talk
Speaker 3: about Roger Craig going into the Hall of Fame. I
Speaker 3: know the ceremonies this weekend. Not sure if he's going
Speaker 3: to make an appearance at the game tonight, But what
Speaker 3: can you tell us about Roger and what his plans
Speaker 3: are for this weekend?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he will be honored during the induction ceremony. I
Speaker 6: think his remarks will be recorded. There's a very nice
Speaker 6: video that'll be playing there for the folks assembled at
Speaker 6: the stadium as well. As a national television audience. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean, what a great honor. And you know, we
Speaker 6: could focus on, you know, what took so long, but
Speaker 6: let's embrace that it's here. Let's embrace that he had,
Speaker 6: without question, a Hall of Fame career and finally being
Speaker 6: recognized as such. I did a book, or actually I
Speaker 6: did a book with Roger many years ago. I think
Speaker 6: it was like two thousand and five, and Bill Walsh
Speaker 6: was you know, I talked to him for the forward
Speaker 6: for this book, and one of the things he said was,
Speaker 6: trust me. You know, Roger's not in the Hall of
Speaker 6: Fame now, but he will be. And so, you know,
Speaker 6: it took about, you know, twenty plus more years to
Speaker 6: get that thing done. But and the amazing thing was
Speaker 6: the candidates that he was up against. You know, when
Speaker 6: when the list of seniors and contributor and coach came up,
Speaker 6: I thought, oh man, this is going to be a
Speaker 6: rough year for Roger, because of Bill Belichick, because of
Speaker 6: Robert Kraft, because of the other seniors. It was Elsie
Speaker 6: Greenwood and Kenny Anderson. But Roger came through and it
Speaker 6: just kind of speaks to what he meant to the
Speaker 6: forty nine ers, that organization through the eighties. It speaks
Speaker 6: to what he what kind of impact he had on
Speaker 6: just the game of football, and we're seeing it today
Speaker 6: with guys like Bijon Robinson getting big bank. You know,
Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey having the seasons he's had. He is the
Speaker 6: you know, he wasn't the first to you know, first
Speaker 6: running back to catch passes out of the backfield, but
Speaker 6: he was the first running back to do it at
Speaker 6: the volume that he did it at and he was
Speaker 6: such an important part of those forty nine Ers championship teams.
Speaker 4: Well, and following up on that, Mattie, I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: for the younger generation, I would have you just you know,
Speaker 4: speak to how underrated a player he was, first and
Speaker 4: foremost for somebody even that's going to be going into
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame, but also the type of player
Speaker 4: that was truly ahead of his time in many ways.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, he wasn't underrated for the teams
Speaker 6: that had to face him, had the game plan against him.
Speaker 6: But you know when you're on a team with with
Speaker 6: Joe Montana, you with Jerry Rice and the stars that
Speaker 6: that were there on defense as well, you are going
Speaker 6: to get overshadowed a little bit. I mean, he was
Speaker 6: an NFL Offensive Player of the Year and it wasn't
Speaker 6: even the year that he had the thousand thousand seasons,
Speaker 6: So there was a five six year period there where
Speaker 6: he was the absolute top in the game. And you
Speaker 6: know what, what always comes to mind is just those
Speaker 6: those knees churning just you know, stopped, but the knees
Speaker 6: keep churning, keeps moving forward. You know, his running side,
Speaker 6: he was a hurdler in high school, and you know
Speaker 6: he's to this day loves track and field, and he
Speaker 6: kind of ran like a hurdler. You know what, those
Speaker 6: those big knees in One of the thrills I think
Speaker 6: him was when Renaldo Ronaldo Nehemia got signed to the
Speaker 6: forty nine ers and he got to meet and hang
Speaker 6: out with one of his heroes.
Speaker 5: But now Roger was the consummate pro too.
Speaker 6: I mean, everybody knows about Jerry's Hill, you know that
Speaker 6: hill off of two eighty where Jerry trains and was
Speaker 6: a maniacal guy.
Speaker 5: As far as spreading up that.
Speaker 6: Hill, well it's actually Roger Craig who showed him the way.
Speaker 6: Roger kind of led the way, you know, the forty
Speaker 6: nine ers of those days, they did something unique. It
Speaker 6: was you know, when a very guy would catch a
Speaker 6: short pass or get a handoff, he'd run all the
Speaker 6: way to the end zone, no matter where they were
Speaker 6: on the field. And it was Roger who brought that.
Speaker 6: So those teams, in a lot of ways off the
Speaker 6: field were defined by their work ethic, how serious they
Speaker 6: took the game, how much passion they had for the game,
Speaker 6: what it meant to them, And.
Speaker 5: That was Roger Craig.
Speaker 3: Matt Mayoko is the voice you hear this morning on
Speaker 3: the Umma guess Lin and I should tell you that
Speaker 3: you are listening to Cambier Aim and camberr FM, San Francisco,
Speaker 3: the Sports It's Leader, a Cumulus Media station and Matt
Speaker 3: turning our attention towards forty nine er training camp, where
Speaker 3: once again the main storyline is injuries. So let's start
Speaker 3: in the wide receiver room. As yesterday there was no
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk, no Mike Evans, no day John Shribbling and
Speaker 3: Jacob Cowing is the latest name to end up on
Speaker 3: the injury list. Now, we haven't had the opportunity to
Speaker 3: talk to you since Deebo, Samuel re signed with the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers last week. But what is your breakdown
Speaker 3: on the current state of the forty nine ers wide
Speaker 3: receiver room.
Speaker 6: Well, the current state as of yesterday, you know, not good.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't think that any of the injuries,
Speaker 6: other than of course the season ender to Ricky Piersall,
Speaker 6: who is going to be undergoing surgery on that knee,
Speaker 6: I don't think any of these are of much concern.
Speaker 6: Watching three of the guys, I don't think I saw
Speaker 6: Cowing yesterday, but watching Kirk and Evans and Stribbling, they
Speaker 6: look really close and at this stage of training camp,
Speaker 6: a lot of it is precautionary. The assist head coach
Speaker 6: Chris Furster, you know, he talked yesterday about, you know,
Speaker 6: the injuries in July or in this case, early August,
Speaker 6: they keep a player out of practice. You know, a
Speaker 6: lot of those injuries aren't the kind of injuries that
Speaker 6: would keep a guy out of a game. So what
Speaker 6: it has done is it's given you know, more opportunities
Speaker 6: to guys like Jordan Watkins, not that DeMarcus Robinson needs
Speaker 6: the reps, not that Deebo Samuel needs the reps, but
Speaker 6: those guys as well. But The one guy that I
Speaker 6: think who's really stood out is Jordan Watkins as far
Speaker 6: as taking advantage of those reps, and it's just you know,
Speaker 6: it's not against the third stringers either, it's against Ronaldo
Speaker 6: Green and against Diamedoor or Lenor, so you know, I
Speaker 6: would say still, even though you cited all those injuries
Speaker 6: and all those injuries are keeping guys off the field,
Speaker 6: I would say still pretty dramatic that when you think
Speaker 6: about who the forty nine ers top four wide receivers
Speaker 6: could be this year, it you know, it could be Evans, Stribbling,
Speaker 6: Samuel and Kirk, although Kirk's gonna have to hold off
Speaker 6: Watkins and DeMarcus Robinson. But when you look at those
Speaker 6: four guys, none of those guys were on the team
Speaker 6: last year. So I do think that the wide receiver position,
Speaker 6: and we're projecting not how it looked in practice yesterday
Speaker 6: because those guys were out, but I would say projecting
Speaker 6: to the start of the regular season, even with Pearsoll's injury,
Speaker 6: it should be a much improved group of wide receivers.
Speaker 4: Mattie along the lines of just different position groups in
Speaker 4: the injuries. If the forty nine Ers feel relatively stable
Speaker 4: all things considered, a wide receiver, what position would you
Speaker 4: say if there is one where the forty nine ers
Speaker 4: are more concerned with the injury bug at this point
Speaker 4: of camp.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'd have to be the defensive line. You know,
Speaker 6: I don't think they it's a great defensive line.
Speaker 5: To begin with.
Speaker 6: I mean, they have Nick Bosa, sure, they have ODIs.
Speaker 6: Sure those two guys are are absolute top flight players.
Speaker 6: The rest, you know, a bunch of question marks. You know,
Speaker 6: the guys who are coming back and they have had
Speaker 6: injuries on the defensive line. But they got Grayson Halton,
Speaker 6: the rookie back yesterday. He's a defensive tackle. You know,
Speaker 6: we don't know about Mikel Williams, you know Alfred Collins.
Speaker 6: You know, the guys that they're leaning on are a
Speaker 6: lot of those second year guys, Mikel Williams, Alfred Collins, CJ.
Speaker 5: West.
Speaker 6: But you know right now, you know, when you look
Speaker 6: at what the weakness of the team was last year,
Speaker 6: it was a defensive front, and a lot of that
Speaker 6: had to do with Moosa's injury. But if you're asking
Speaker 6: right now what's the weakness of the team, I think
Speaker 6: I'd go back to it's the defensive front. Now they're
Speaker 6: trying to do something schematically to kind of help them
Speaker 6: in that regard.
Speaker 5: You know, I think.
Speaker 6: They are playing a lot more five man lines, kind
Speaker 6: of catching up to the rest of the NFL in
Speaker 6: that regard, So you know, that's something where they can
Speaker 6: use some stuff schematically, you know, make it more difficult,
Speaker 6: get another heavy body out there that makes it difficult
Speaker 6: for teams against them to run on those base downs.
Speaker 6: And then in passing situations, if you have that five
Speaker 6: man line, you know, not all five guys are going
Speaker 6: to be rushing at once. There will be opportunities for that,
Speaker 6: of course, but you know they'll drop guys, they'll do
Speaker 6: different things to kind of mix it up and try
Speaker 6: to create confusion with the offensive line that they're going
Speaker 6: up against.
Speaker 4: Do you think the forty nine ers, considering the state
Speaker 4: of the defensive line, would would take a stronger look
Speaker 4: at maybe somebody like Vida Vea. I know Jason Light
Speaker 4: even this morning, I guess it's said no plans to
Speaker 4: trade him. They're clearly doing the posturing that goes on
Speaker 4: in these types of situations in Tampa. But do you think,
Speaker 4: you know, just in terms of overall talent that would
Speaker 4: be a player even on the interior that they'd be
Speaker 4: willing to consider.
Speaker 6: Hey, I think there's thirty two teams in the NFL
Speaker 6: that want Vita Vea and one team has him right now,
Speaker 6: and as you mentioned there, that doesn't they don't seem
Speaker 6: inclined to to trade him. And also, you know we've
Speaker 6: seen it before. That's a great negotiating play to say,
Speaker 6: you know, I'm fed up with my contract, trade me,
Speaker 6: and then they get something done.
Speaker 5: The problem right now with the forty.
Speaker 6: Nine ers as far as going out and getting a
Speaker 6: player like that, trading for him, what do they have
Speaker 6: to give up? I don't think they have the draft
Speaker 6: capital to pull off a deal like that. And if
Speaker 6: they do have the draft capital, as far as you know,
Speaker 6: where they'd be selecting. Now you're starting to chip away at,
Speaker 6: you know, continuing to build this thing out. So I
Speaker 6: think from two standpoints, they I don't know that they
Speaker 6: have or would be willing to give up what it
Speaker 6: would take to get him. And then also you have
Speaker 6: to give them a new contract too, So it's basically
Speaker 6: going out and paying twice for the same player. And
Speaker 6: I don't think it's a legitimate option for the forty
Speaker 6: nine ers. I could be wrong on that, but I
Speaker 6: would think that other teams might be in better situations
Speaker 6: to try to pull.
Speaker 5: That one off.
Speaker 3: Matt, with the concerns on the defensive line, is there
Speaker 3: any chance the forty nine ers can bring an Aaron
Speaker 3: Donald for a potential tryout?
Speaker 6: I'm shocked he's not here already. Well, as soon as
Speaker 6: I'm off this, I'm gonna go stake out the front
Speaker 6: gate and make sure he's coming through and seeing which
Speaker 6: helmet he's wearing.
Speaker 3: Well, what that story coming out yesterday and Sean McVeigh
Speaker 3: confirming that it was a quote tryout? Do you think
Speaker 3: this sets up Aaron Donald to play against the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers Week one in Australia?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yeah, I think so. You know, I was under
Speaker 6: the impression for the longest time that if Aaron Donald
Speaker 6: were to play for the Rams this year, he wouldn't
Speaker 6: go to training camp. He would just kind of see
Speaker 6: how the season's going and he would show up. And
Speaker 6: you know, mid November when I was I was talking
Speaker 6: to Andrew Whitworth about a month ago on that subject
Speaker 6: and he told me I ran that theory by him
Speaker 6: and he says, oh, no, when Aaron Donald's in, he
Speaker 6: is all in.
Speaker 5: So you're again to get.
Speaker 6: Air all of Aaron Donald the Rams are or none
Speaker 6: of Aaron Donald. So I think it would be sooner
Speaker 6: than late. And probably the thing for him is how
Speaker 6: great would it be? Not that he needs any more
Speaker 6: validation or any more hardware in the trophy case, but
Speaker 6: how cool would it be for him for the Rams
Speaker 6: to go out and get Miles Garrett? And then Aaron
Speaker 6: Donald has a better season than Miles Garrett and is
Speaker 6: in the ending up as the NFL Defensive Player of
Speaker 6: the Year. So I think he would take it as
Speaker 6: a challenge like, oh, everybody thinks Miles Garrett's still number one.
Speaker 6: Well I have something to show you. So I think
Speaker 6: if he's going to play, I think there'd be a
Speaker 6: very strong chance. And it looks like he's going to play.
Speaker 6: I think there's a very strong chance he makes that
Speaker 6: trip to Melbourne, and maybe he was updating his passport
Speaker 6: information at the Rams facility.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Matty Mayoko joining us here on the Sports Leader, Matt,
Speaker 4: how has Kyle Shanahan progressed to your view in observing
Speaker 4: practice here? I know he's not back in speaking to
Speaker 4: the media yet the leader of the team, but it
Speaker 4: does seem.
Speaker 3: Like he's been out there more and more each day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it has been that way.
Speaker 6: I think the very first day of practice he was
Speaker 6: out there about thirty thirty five minutes, and then ever
Speaker 6: since then it's been the full on eleven eleven against eleven.
Speaker 5: Portion of practice.
Speaker 6: And yesterday out there on the field Dre Greenlaw, who
Speaker 6: was having a rest day general soreness, he was standing
Speaker 6: next to Shanahan the entire time and he was It
Speaker 6: was funny watching green Law. He was going through his
Speaker 6: mental reps right by Shanahan. A little bit later, Kittle
Speaker 6: was out there, So, you know, it does seem like
Speaker 6: he's making progress. He did speak to the team for
Speaker 6: the first time on Saturday, but you know, he knew,
Speaker 6: you know, when we talked to him about ten days ago.
Speaker 6: You know, he'd said that it's slow. It's slower than
Speaker 6: he wanted it to be or thought it would be,
Speaker 6: but he felt like he was making, you know, gradual progress.
Speaker 6: So I think there is still optimism that Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 6: will be all the way up to full speed doing
Speaker 6: all of his duties in week one. One of the
Speaker 6: things that Chris Firster said was basically, behind the scenes,
Speaker 6: he sees no difference. Kyle Shanahan is still running the meetings.
Speaker 6: When Chris Furster and Shanahan meet privately, he says he
Speaker 6: still sees the same guy. So I think there is
Speaker 6: optimism that Shanahan will be back to full coaching duties,
Speaker 6: no limitations, sooner than later.
Speaker 3: Matt to tying Kyle Shanahan into my last question. It
Speaker 3: was released yesterday or I guess reported on about the
Speaker 3: RAMS travel schedule down to Australia the day before or
Speaker 3: day of. Still a little bit confused there, but I
Speaker 3: know it's completely different than the forty nine ers approach.
Speaker 3: But I guess my question is, with this Kyle Shanahan situation,
Speaker 3: have there been any thoughts about maybe adjusting the travel
Speaker 3: plans for the forty nine ers or maybe him specifically
Speaker 3: flying out at a different time.
Speaker 6: It's a great question, I would think not, just because
Speaker 6: the reason they're going so early is to adjust so
Speaker 6: the game if we're just it gets a little bit
Speaker 6: complex because you know, Australia is seventeen hours ahead, but
Speaker 6: the fortnititres are flying out on September second, and the game,
Speaker 6: you know, using that September second here in the Bay Area,
Speaker 6: the game is eight days later on September tenth, So
Speaker 6: I would think that they would want Kyle to be
Speaker 6: kind of settled in Melbourne and be acclimated. I think
Speaker 6: that that would probably be the best way to handle it,
Speaker 6: rather than coming in late. I mean, he wants to
Speaker 6: be around the team anyway. He wants to be there
Speaker 6: for you know, all the prep meetings and everything else.
Speaker 6: But no, it is a fascinating contrast of how both
Speaker 6: of these organizations are going about it in completely different ways.
Speaker 6: As I understand it, the Rams plan on getting to
Speaker 6: Australia on what would be the afternoon or evening of
Speaker 6: before yeah, September tenth, Australia for the ten thirty am
Speaker 6: kickoff on September eleventh. I know we're kind of mixing
Speaker 6: matching time zones, but that is how I understand that
Speaker 6: They're gonna have one night of sleep in Melbourne, go
Speaker 6: play a football game, and then be on the plane
Speaker 6: as well. The forty Niners be on the plane right
Speaker 6: after the game and head home. So I think the
Speaker 6: Rams philosophy is, don't adjust to the time zone, just
Speaker 6: kind of play this thing like it's a five point
Speaker 6: thirty Pacific Coast kickoff. And for the forty nine ers,
Speaker 6: you know, maybe this is the wrong call. I don't
Speaker 6: know if well, we won't have a solid answer. We'll
Speaker 6: know who wins a game, but I'm not sure that
Speaker 6: that's gonna tell us what was the right and what
Speaker 6: was wrong. But for the forty nine ers, they're gonna
Speaker 6: have to adjust twice. They're gonna have to adjust going
Speaker 6: from the West Coast to Melbourne for eight days, adjust
Speaker 6: and then get on the plane, come back to the
Speaker 6: Bay Area and adjust again. Whereas the Rams apparently are
Speaker 6: going We're not doing any of this adjusting. We're just
Speaker 6: gonna go play a football game.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It is a fascinating dichotomy and juxtaposition is to the
Speaker 4: way they're they're looking to do it with the Rams.
Speaker 4: On the Matty Mayoko scale, who do you think has
Speaker 4: the edge?
Speaker 5: I would think the forty nine ers. Yeah, see, I
Speaker 5: would too. Think.
Speaker 6: Here's here's what I say. I think it was twenty ten.
Speaker 6: Now it wasn't twenty ten. It was a year the
Speaker 6: forty Nineers played the Broncos. I think I was twenty
Speaker 6: ten was it twenty ten? Okay, And the forty nine
Speaker 6: ers did the full week. I think they were I
Speaker 6: think they were in Carolina maybe the week before that,
Speaker 6: and flew to London straight after the games Sunday. They're
Speaker 6: there the whole week. They played a football game, the
Speaker 6: Broncos flew in like it was just a regular East
Speaker 6: coast trip, So they got to London very late, and
Speaker 6: as I recall, the nine Ers, especially in the second half,
Speaker 6: beat them up. Now at the time, I'm thinking, oh,
Speaker 6: it's because of the travel schedules, and it might have been.
Speaker 6: So it's always kind of been in my mind, like
Speaker 6: all the way the forty nine ers did it, getting
Speaker 6: their early adjusting, getting acclimated, that's the way to go.
Speaker 5: But we'll see. I think a lot of it has
Speaker 5: to do with whether.
Speaker 6: Whether Aaron Donald's there that might have a better impact
Speaker 6: on the Rams game and Miles Garrett.
Speaker 5: It comes out to the players, right.
Speaker 3: Absolute, always, absolutely, Matt, it comes down to the people
Speaker 3: who cover this game, and that's you. You're one of
Speaker 3: the best men. Always appreciate your thoughts on the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers and your thoughts on everything going on here
Speaker 3: at camb are enjoyed the rest of training camp, the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame game tonight in the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame Ceremony this weekend, and we'll talk to
Speaker 3: you next Thursday.
Speaker 5: All right, gentlemen, thanks you so much. I'll see as soon.
Speaker 3: There He is the one and only Matt Mayoko given
Speaker 3: his thoughts on everything from the latest forty nine Ers
Speaker 3: injuries to the Rams travel plans. Eight Away camby r
Speaker 3: JD as a good Ques question. Who does this give
Speaker 3: the advantage to the forty nine Ers flying out early?
Speaker 3: Or are the Rams coming in as Seal team six
Speaker 3: as Sean McVay said, for one day and one day
Speaker 3: only or is it one day? We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: On the other side, eight Toway Cambier is a number
Speaker 3: if you want to chime in on the Sports Leader
